About Emma

Emma Wheeler is a BACP counsellor who works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. She supports those managing depression, self-esteem issues and major life changes. Emma also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stresses, sleep problems and career worries.

She began her practice focusing on bereavement and grief work, and over six years grew to support a wider range of struggles. Emma brings lived experience of chronic health challenges and aims to respond with sensitivity.

Background and approach

She can use sign language to assist people who are hearing impaired. Emma combines a person-centred way of working with mindfulness and trauma-focused methods. Sessions often include guided meditations, grounding exercises and time to notice thoughts and feelings.

She also uses art-based activities and colour work to help express emotions that are hard to name. In sessions Emma keeps things paced to the individual. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk at their own speed.

Practical strategies are offered alongside time to reflect and make sense of difficult experiences. Beginning therapy can feel hard and uncertain. Emma encourages a gentle start and will help you set small, realistic goals.

She asks people to bring what they can, and she works collaboratively to find approaches that fit each person’s needs.

How Emma’s approaches work online

Emma uses trauma-focused therapy to help people safely process distressing experiences. This approach focuses on understanding how past events affect current feelings and reactions, and it includes grounding and pacing so the work unfolds at a manageable speed.

She also adopts a person-centred approach which puts the client’s perspective at the heart of each session. That means conversations are led by what matters most to you, and the counsellor aims to respond with empathy and practical help.

Mindfulness techniques are used to build awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations. Short breathing exercises and guided meditations can reduce overwhelming feelings and improve calm in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to match your goals, needs and preferences so you feel involved in the plan.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual exercises, phone sessions may suit lower bandwidth or quick check-ins, and messaging or live chat can fit into a busy day or provide written reflections. These options add flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health needs.
